Got a new blu ray player in my rack. I now can bitstream to the ada. Watched the new mission impossible today. Holly smokes!!!!! Wow what a great soundtrack. There were a couple scenes that literally made me jump. Definitely worth seeing. Great movie too.

Hi Chris. I am just putting on that Blu Ray with my Theta CB3 HD as of last night with one of the very first brand spankin' new Digiout card full bandwith to Theta Generation VIII Series 3 DAC.

You mean you don't remember me? Back 1999 - 2003, I started and moderated the AVS Tweaks forum and also the AVS Special Guests forum.

Or use irule like me with feedback . You can see the volume in dB and as a bar and surround mode, PEQ mode selected, source etc in real time ?

Hello mani,
Could you please tell me what are the proper network settings for ADA to get feedbacks from it?
I can control ADA with iRule via IP but I can't get any feedbacks.

ADA IP address is set to static like 192.168.x.x mask 255.255.255.0.
In iRule I have added an "ADA Mach4 Feedback - Mani" with volume bar attached to "ADA Feedback" device.
On my iPad, I have attached ADA control device to one gateway with ADA's IP address and port 48716 and ADA feedback device to another gateway with ADA's IP address and port 48717.
The following settings have been made via ADA's web interface:

I had no problems with the crossover cable. Just sometimes the unit doesn't connect. I would swich the Rhapsody completely off (not on standby), connect the laptop with the crossover cable and switch on the unit.
If there is no connection, restart the laptop while the Rhapsody is connected.
Good luck.

Hi Alex

Make sure these steps are followed:

"What you need to do is the following.
create a new device and create a network command to assign to a page. The command can be anything, it does not matter.
Name this device ADA feedback or something that you can identify seperate from the ADA device that contains your commands.
Assign the feedback to the newly created device (the ADA feedback)
In the app, go to the Gateways tab and create a new network Gateway.
Assign the IP address of the ADA and port 48717 and name the Gateway something like "ada feedback .."

- So make sure in ADA feedback device there is at least one network command , which you can borrow from "ADA mach IV - mani " i/i regular ADA network command . Then you need to have one button in one of the panels where you can assign that command to . You can make a separate page that you will never use and place some random button there and assign the network command that you added to "ADA feedback - Mani " device , to that button.
- Make sure in left lower corner in ADA feedbaclk , there is device assigned to the feedback.

- I dont know of the network module settings, how you changed them. But ADA network commands are sent by UDP protocol, not TCP protocol.

- If you can post the screen shots of your ADA network settings , and your Irule builder pages , that will help much more to ficure out the problem.

I had no problems with the crossover cable. Just sometimes the unit doesn't connect. I would swich the Rhapsody completely off (not on standby), connect the laptop with the crossover cable and switch on the unit.

Hey,

Got my ADA back but having trouble with the crossover cable.

Did you use the iso-e to program it?? Or just connect it?

I rebooted my ADA and lap top but no connection. Any suggestions on broadcast address, ip address, etc when using iso-e to program?

Any suggestions at all to connect via LAN on my network or via crossover cable?Post screen shots of your iso-e program?

Thanks!!

At this point I'd prefer the crossover option. Thanks!!!

ATTACHMENT> this shows what I see when I hook up the ADA with a via LAN (no crossover cable). I know it is something in broadcast address and subnet.

Try unticking 'use factory settings' and change the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
The static ip also needs to be close to your controller IP so replace the 1 with a 0 for a start. I used an IP I knew was free a couple of numbers off the controller IP.

Just read the red text really and the help file that comes with the ISOE

The broadcast address if I remeber right should be ..... 192.168.1.255 if you are using linksys . If your Ip address is something like 192.168.0.xxx then try 192.168.0.255
Try subnet mask 255.255.255.255

Reset your network adapter on laptop and connect Ada to laptop with crossover cable and turn Ada on and then laptop on . I always had problem with windows7 , even in XP mode on windows 7. Windows xp works flawlessly

In going over what I did, I found device in ISO-e, named it 192.168.0.200, set the subnet for 255.255.255.0, broadcast address for 192.168.1.255 and no go. I checked Angel Eyes post and another and this broadcast address was used successfully by both.

Any ideas?

When I try and connect and load a file, it says I don't have the 'correct version'.

Gotta be something simple. Help!!

EDIT: I tried .195 and no luck. I look at my D-LINK router and it doesn't even see it. Maybe it is port related. I have a DLINK router but have no idea how to address ports.

Tried that Mani and have some success.I can read the version and see the volume in the PC program.

I can load my settings but when I try and load my PROM, it times out.

Here is my latest settings. I opened up the UDP ports in my router as well. I have Windows FIREWALL OFF. SO no port blocking there...

The first attachment shows the UDP settings changed and the ISO-e. What is that error mean??? I got that error when I placed the UDP ports to open.
THe next one shows ISO-e after changing the broadcast address to 192.168.0.255

Still can't load prom. Went 80% and then stopped. I couldn't even get it started before... What's weird is that I can change inputs, mute but cannot load PROM or change volume via the PC program

Once you have programmed the ADA , try connecting through LAN and not the crossover cable
I am sure you would have checked that the right ADA model was selected in the suite software and right ADA address

With ports.... I meant to open those ports on your laptop.

I have to use subnet 255.255.255.255 on my ADA, but my IP range is 192.168.1.xxx

Also one you program turn theADA off completely and unhook the power cord for few seconds and start back again

Hi Mani
All my work on this has been via LAN. I'll unhook power and try your subnet recommendation.

You can see my broadcast address above.

Does everything look right?

If you're using l
LAN, what is your broadcast address. Or post a screen shot of your ISP-e so i can study it.

Anyone know how to connect through the crossover cable? I'd try anything at this point.

Turn off the wifi on your laptop and then turn off the laptop. Connect crossover cable to Ethernet ports of ADA and your laptop. Turn on the laptop. That should connect your ADA to suite. If it doesn't, try factory resetting your ADA on network and connect again. You shouldnt need ISO to connect via crossover cable. I won't be home till Sundays, to post my ISO settings

My broadcast address is 192.168.1.255 (but my IP,s are 192.168.1.xxx, so your broadcast should be 192.168.0.255)

The good: I have gotten things in the PC program to talk and control the Mach IV. I am getting full 2way communication on all commands, including volume.

Thank you Joel for helping to solve this. The partial communication I was getting was due to the fact that the MACH IV defaults to TEQ being connected and ON. As soon as I switched the TEQ OFF in the PC software, my volume was back. Thanks Mani, the Broadcast address was your suggestion. Itai, my buddy from iRule, also helped here, too.

The Bad: Still cannot load a PROM file (.C4P). I tried a PROM file from Joel but it timed out. I was able to successfully save a PROM file a minute ago and when I tried to reload it, it timed out. If I can get this in, I can use the unit.

I can successfully load my Input Settings file (.C43), however. Odd.

I am at
IP: 192.168.0.200
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Broadcast: 192.168.0.255
Both UDP ports are open in the router and in Windows Firewall.
